(Closed) Registry…how many?

How many different registries does everyone have? At what point do you have too many?

I want to set up one on etsy. He wants REI. Then we will do something like Tareget, Kohls or Bed Bath & Beyond to cover the bulk of everything else, Plus his mom sells longaberger and wants us to register for that. Is this over kill? I just want to give a large variety and cover all of our bases.

We had four but in my case most people only bought from one. We did Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, Target, and Home Depot and everyone bought from Macy’s and then gave us cash. A lot of people buy where it is convenient for them (Macy’s is in every mall around here and they wrap the gifts) and the older crowd does not like to buy online.

Two- Target and Crate and Barrel. Most of the list is at Target- there isn’t a Crate and Barrel near where I live, but I like their stuff so I registered for a few things there anyway. I can always buy them for myself at discount after the wedding.

Two is the norm among my family and friends. One at a large department store Macy’s, Bloomingdales, etc and then one at a more speciality store like C&B or Williams Sonoma. I think three is fine if there are things you really want from different places, but I would say anything more than 3 is overkill and would seem greedy to me.

I’ve only heard of there being between 1 and 3. We have 2, that’s pretty common. One is for Target, for the basics. The other is at Crate & Barrel, for some more fun, hostess-y stuff. I think you might want to scale it down a lil bit. Just to make it easier for your guests to choose from. Too many choices can be overwhelming!
